Good company but lacks diversity
Manager (Current Employee), Celebration, FL –
Pros: excellent company for those that fit the mold
Cons: does not model core values that are boasted
Director and VP have consistently informed me to inexperience working with minorities. The hardest part of the job is the fact that the organization is not inclusive and sometimes hostile towards differences. This is unfortunate because the hardest part of the job is not the job at all...

Great place to work!
custodian (Former Employee), florida –
Pros: free admission to the parks
Cons: long hours
During my time at Disney, I usually worked around 38 hour weeks; the shifts were bareable and the pay was reasonable. I learnt invaluable customer service skills whilst working at disney due to the level of customer service espected is so high. I got on very well with my co-workers and managers, it was a lovely environment to work in. The hardest part – more...  of the job was working in the heat, but the most enjoyable part was dealing with the guests and see the enjoyment they were having around me. – less

Every day is a magical day!
Lead Management Team/Backstage Manager (Former Employee), Gulfport, MS –
Pros: getting the inside disney scoop!
The Disney Store was an absolute wonderful place to work. If you are a kid at heart, like I am, no job can suit you better. Everything is about creating magical experiences for the guest. Bring stories to life, by helping each guest in their own unique way. Being part of the management team, I was constantly busy at the Disney Store. We received a lot – more...  of product, which myself and a few others, would sort through and put onstage and backstage. There truly was never a dull moment working there! – less

Fun workplace if you want a summer job
Merchandise Guest Service Host (Current Employee), Anaheim, CA –
Pros: benefits, value, co-workers
Cons: management
It a fun workplace if your looking for a summer job. Great interactions with people from all walks of life & co- workers turn in to family members. The best thing about working their is the co-workers make everyone feel like family, they make the job fun. The worst part is the management. Most of the management have power issues & most of them don't – more...  even hold a college degree. Advancement in the company can be easy if you kiss up & the management team likes you. If they detest you, your out of luck. The benefits are really great for full time employees & most employee are part of a union so they had job security. – less

Pros: exposure

The environment and management were too up tight. I felt it hindered my progress and abilities. I think the company expects too much from their employees. My co-workers were great.
